“I trust you, Jake.” I don’t know how or why. I don’t know when it came to this, but I do trust him. Maybe not with my heart, but with my safety I do.
He puts his hands over mine and lets out a long sigh. “Fuck, what are you doing to me?”
He lowers his face to take my lips with his again and this time, it’s nothing but pure softness. He kisses me like it’s the last time he ever will, like he’s loved me for years and will love me forever.
“Give us a chance,” he whispers as I pull away to fall back flat on my feet.
This should be so simple. To just let go and give in. The only thing holding me back is the fear of getting hurt. Jake has such a hold on my heart, he could crush me. He could break me into a million pieces, and I would never be the same again.
He can sense the hesitation because he palms my cheeks again. “I know you, Jamie. Maybe not as much as your mom or Emily but I feel close to you. I might not know everything, but I know your favorite food is sushi, I know your favorite color is green. I know you enjoy going to church on Sundays because you used to go with your family. I know you and Chris were close friends before Rose and I showed up.” He shifts, drops a kiss to the corner of my mouth before he carries on.
“I know you’re the most curious person in this town. I know you’re aiming for UPenn because they have one of the best medical schools and you want to become a surgeon.” He drops another kiss on the other side of my mouth, the softness making me shiver.
“I know it’s because you owe your life to the surgeon that saved you after that horrible day. I don’t know you by heart, but I feel like I’ve known you forever and it feels right. I-shit I’m not even sure what I feel, it just feels good. I know you hate taking risks that could get you hurt but…you feel the same as I do, Jamie. I know it. You just need to take that leap of faith, just this once. I-just–” he runs a hand through his hair before putting it back on my cheek and the honesty in his eyes goes straight to my heart. “Just give us a chance,” he sighs.
His words turn my brain off, and I simply nod but it’s enough for him. He sweeps me off my feet and into his arms making me squeak in the process. I giggle once he starts kissing my neck a million times.
“I don’t even want to know how you know all of this,” I tell him.
“Why do you think I befriended Emily? That girl chats so much I’m pretty sure she spilled out the pin to your credit card at some point.”
I laugh again and he gives me another kiss then he buries his nose in my neck and inhales deeply. His whole body relaxes, and he puts me back down.
I dust off my uniform to put it back in place and smile at him. “I do have one condition.”
His brows knit yet he doesn’t talk, like biting his tongue so he doesn’t say anything he’ll regret.
“I need time before being…open about it in front of everyone. At school and all. I don’t know how I feel about PDA right now. I want this to stay between us. I understand you’ll tell your close friends, I mean everyone else.”
He looks like he’s thinking for a minute. I need him to accept this, I don’t want girls on my back at school. I don’t want to take the risk of being humiliated if he changes his mind, if this doesn’t go as planned. After rushing into a relationship with Nathan and making the biggest mistake of my life choosing him over Jake, I want to take this slowly. No screwing up this time.
“But then how are all the other guys gonna know you’re mine?” His voice snaps me out of my thoughts, and I look at him unimpressed. He’s clearly joking but deep down, I know what he’s like.
“The caveman behavior needs to stop as well.”
He pretends to not understand what I’m saying and bends over, putting his shoulder to my hip. I shriek when he picks me up, true caveman-style, and starts walking back down to the trail.
“Oh my Gosh, put me down!” I giggle out of control.
“Me no share. Woman mine. All mine,” he growls excessively. He proceeds to tickle my side with his free hand, and I can’t stop the loud laughter from escaping my mouth. It’s pure and light. The kind of laugh I hadn’t heard myself having in years.
He puts me down when we start seeing people going up as we go down. I’m out of breath and we both can’t stop laughing. He leans toward me to put a strand of hair behind my ear, and he kisses my mouth in the process, then my cheek, my jaw, and stops at my ear.
“Your laugh is making me hard.”
I can feel the heat rushing to my cheeks and wetness pooling between my legs. This is just the effect Jake has on me and I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it.
After almost running down to the parking lot, Jake starts his car and drives to a remote road, parking deeper in the woods than allowed. At least no one can see us. He barely puts the car in park when he grabs both my hips and pulls me on his lap like I weigh nothing. My knees on either side of him, he kisses me without ever taking a breath and growls as he struggles with my uniform slacks.
“Skirts. Always. I want access,” he complains.
I giggle as I lift myself on my knees and take a minute to get rid of my pants, or at least get one leg free. He looks at my underwear that is still on and then at me deadpan.
“And tell me, what do you think is going to happen now that you’ve left these on?”
“Oh, I-”
He doesn’t even let me finish as he suddenly rips my panties in one violent gesture.
